<h1>5K Every Day - Episode 4: Apps, Fevers & Band Night Cancellations</h1>I'm back! After a fever-filled weekend that knocked me completely off the rower, I'm easing back in with the gentlest 5K yet. Zone 2 intensity, a bit of coughing (sorry), and a deep dive into the rowing app ecosystem. What to Expect This Episode: This is a proper comeback workout - keeping it super simple at 16-17 strokes per minute while my chest and nose recover. Today's Topics:<ul><li>How a cold turned into a fever and wiped out my weekend</li><li>Missing the band Christmas night out (and all those drumming jokes)</li><li>Why texting has ruined proper conversation</li><li>Complete breakdown of rowing apps: Exa vs ErgZone vs ErgData vs Avaron vs MyRow</li><li>The MyRow tablet as the ultimate Concept2 premium upgrade</li><li>Late-workout technique check when you're getting lazy</li><li>Why you should start rowing during my intro if you need more time</li></ul> The Honest Bit: Lots of app talk, less storytelling. But sometimes that's what you need: straightforward company and useful information while you're just trying to get back into the routine after time off.Perfect for: Recovery workouts, comeback rows after time off, or anyone researching which rowing app to invest in.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

5K Every Day | RowAlong (15 Dec 2025)

A friendly voice in your ear to motivate, coach and entertain you through each Indoor Rowing workout as we RowAlong together. I set the stroke rate and the training pace based on your current 2000m time. Just set your monitor to Just Row – and start and stop when I tell you. For more info and to check out the YouTube videos - go to rowalong.com Each show is a different Indoor Rowing workout which I row - and you RowAlong with me. I row on a Concept2 rowing machine - but you can use whatever you have. And I keep you company through the session, talking to you about technique considerations, training tips, what I'm having for dinner and other off topic moments, all designed to keep you motivated and distracted while you work through your session. In the end, we'll both be Fitter Faster Stronger. This is the audio taken from the YouTube videos on the RowAlong YouTube channel - but it still works. There may be a couple of times when I show the wrong technique, which won't translate through audio that well of course, but 99% of it will be fine. The Concept 2 rowing machine makes a very recognisable Wooooosh noise with every stroke. So use that, and your monitor display to keep track of your stroke rate as you RowAlong with me. All workouts can be performed as stand-alone workouts. But do check out how they're often grouped into training plans.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
